Re-order the sections of a few manual pages to be consistent with the entirety of the rest of our documentation. This allows us to remove the just-added whitelist of "bad" order from lint-man-section-order.perl. I'm doing that this way around so that code will be easy to dig up if we'll need it in the future. I've intentionally not added some other sections such as EXAMPLES to the list of known sections. If we were to add that we'd find some out of order. Perhaps we'll want to order those consistently as well in the future, at which point whitelisting some of them might become handy again.

git-mktag(1)
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-mktag - Creates a tag object with extra validation
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git mktag'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Reads a tag contents on standard input and creates a tag object. The
|
|
output is the new tag's <object> identifier.
|
|
|
|
This command is mostly equivalent to linkgit:git-hash-object[1]
|
|
invoked with `-t tag -w --stdin`. I.e. both of these will create and
|
|
write a tag found in `my-tag`:
|
|
|
|
git mktag <my-tag
|
|
git hash-object -t tag -w --stdin <my-tag
|
|
|
|
The difference is that mktag will die before writing the tag if the
|
|
tag doesn't pass a linkgit:git-fsck[1] check.
|
|
|
|
The "fsck" check done mktag is stricter than what linkgit:git-fsck[1]
|
|
would run by default in that all `fsck.<msg-id>` messages are promoted
|
|
from warnings to errors (so e.g. a missing "tagger" line is an error).
|
|
|
|
Extra headers in the object are also an error under mktag, but ignored
|
|
by linkgit:git-fsck[1]. This extra check can be turned off by setting
|
|
the appropriate `fsck.<msg-id>` varible:
|
|
|
|
git -c fsck.extraHeaderEntry=ignore mktag <my-tag-with-headers
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--strict::
|
|
By default mktag turns on the equivalent of
|
|
linkgit:git-fsck[1] `--strict` mode. Use `--no-strict` to
|
|
disable it.
|
|
|
|
Tag Format
|
|
----------
|
|
A tag signature file, to be fed to this command's standard input,
|
|
has a very simple fixed format: four lines of
|
|
|
|
object <hash>
|
|
type <typename>
|
|
tag <tagname>
|
|
tagger <tagger>
|
|
|
|
followed by some 'optional' free-form message (some tags created
|
|
by older Git may not have `tagger` line). The message, when it
|
|
exists, is separated by a blank line from the header. The
|
|
message part may contain a signature that Git itself doesn't
|
|
care about, but that can be verified with gpg.
